Juice of Lemons!
How to Make Skin |
White and Beautiful \
At the cost of a small Jar ot ordi
nary cold cream one can prepare a
full quarter pint of the moft won
derful lemon skin softener and com
plexion beautifler, by squeezing the
juice of two fresh lemons into a bot
tle containing three ounces of or
chard white. Care should be taken
to strain the juice through a fine
cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then
this lotion will keep fresh for
months. Every woman knows that
lemon juice is used to bleach and
remove such blemishes as freckles,
sallowness and tan, and is the ideal
skin softener, smoothener and beau
tifler.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from tho grocer and
make up a quarter pint of this
pweetly fragrant lemon lotion and
massage it daily into the face, neck,
turns anif hands. It should naturally
help to whiten, soften, freshen and
bring out the roses and beauty of
nny skin. It is truly marvelous to

SCOUTMASTER YOUNG BACK
Scoutmaster Robert D. Young, of
Troop 17, has just returned from his
vacation. He had a corking time and
put on a real classy coat of tan. He
i looks the part of an efficient, effec

even more than he did before.
Chestnut streets, who has consented
to give to the city a strip 27x105 feet
in the front of his ground has al
ready started tearing down the struc
tures on the site.
The Planning Commission hopes to
have Council pass an ordinance either
to require persons building new
structures or doing remodeling work
on the south side of Chestnut street
to set the buildings back far enough
to make the roadway eighty feet
wide. It is possible that Council may
be asked to set aside a fund each year
for payment of damages should prop
erty owners be required to set back
their buildings.
The flrst step In the Improvement
will not place any expense on the city.

from the main building.
